Attention is also directed to the fact that lby the use of a cotter piny 30 Afor securing A the latch on the' stud Z8-the use of turn buttons 'or other movable fastening members for Asecuri g the-latch and studin engage- .nient are dispensed rwith. This is an iinportant feature of the invention because as heretofore constructed the usual 'fastening I members euch as nuts, hinged 01 pivoted ln`tclies and the like cause more orv less i trouble Ydue' to their rusting, breaking, and

other dilicnlties incident to their use.

vVhat claim is: i

l. In a device yof the class described, a transplit rim, a channel `shaped latch secured vto one end of said rim and providedI with an oblong openin in its free end, the longitudinal anisv of said opening extending transversely to said rim, a correspondingly shaped stud carried by the other end of seid rim for engaging said opening, said' latch being formed from sheet metal by bending the same into channel shape whereby the vcurved corners formed at the bends afford ineens for facilitating the entrance Aof a tool between the latch and rim for detaching said latch from said stud, said flanges being provided with' bolt enga ing recesses whereby said latch may form t e sole driving means for said rim.v
